The Georgia State Parks daily PARK PASS parking fee as of 1/1/2026 is going up to $10. The old green
SELF PAY boxes have been replaced with QR code SELF PAY signs. Annual Passes and daily paper danglers will still be available for purchase inside the park office. Using the QR code you will be required to input your vehicle tag number when paying. An in-date annual pass must still be displayed on rear view mirror. Vehicles parked anywhere in the park will be checked  with a "tag reader" by rangers if they don't see an annual pass or paper dangler pass. No payment/pass bought via QR code or no annual pass/dangler paper pass visible  will result in parking citation via US mail.
​

​Note: Only ONE permit will be issued for each of the 21 backcountry campsites for an individual/group (thus, you will not have to share a site). 
​Reservations must be made on-line (see Permits and Backpacking on the PMT on this website)  ​
